Police have seized over 50kg of cannabis and arrested three suspects in a Nairobi raid, a day after another operation in Bungoma recovered 154 bhang rolls.
On 9th June 2025, three suspects were arrested during an anti-narcotics operation by National Police Service (NPS) officers in Kasarani area.
During the operation officers seized a large quantity of suspected narcotics, including 50kg of cannabis sativa (bhang), 30 hash-infused cookies, and 810 rolls of bhang.
The arrests occurred a day after similar arrests were made in Bungoma County.
Acting on a tip off from members of the public, police raided the home of Beatrice Nekesa in Nabuloli village, on the 8th of June, where they uncovered 154 rolls of bhang.

Additionally, it has commended the public’s support in aiding the fight.
“We applaud members of the public who continue to support our efforts by providing information that led to this successful arrest and recovery,” National Police added.
